## Resource

In Wichita, a powerful new program called Next Man Up is reshaping how teenage boys become men—teaching real-world skills like tying a tie, reading body language, and making solid first impressions. Born from a teacher’s personal struggle after her son lost his father, it’s now a community-driven mentorship initiative where confident Black men guide teens through life’s unspoken rules. It’s not just about practicality—it’s about building inner confidence that unlocks future success. And for mentors, it’s a chance to give back, even without their own kids. This program proves that community support and guidance are vital for young men stepping into adulthood. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
